Nice cage design

Daytime temp should be 80° to 85°. Nighttime temp should be 75° to 79° Babies should be kept no higher than 82° during the day and hover around 78° at night. Humidity needs to be kept at 70% to 80%. 80% Is best.

Be careful with the leaf litter. You do not want him to ingest any of it accidentally.

Ok, I'll definitely be insulating it then and adding another UTH if needed. The leaves are all fake. I was told that was okay. I don't plan on using live plants.

Here are some pics of the Exo-Terra 60 cm x 45cm x 45 cm I use for my 2 small Fantasy's. It's heated by a spot on top and 2 small UTH 7 watt on eigther side of the viv. included are a shelter, moss to bury in, live setled plants, a shallow water dish and and natural shelter. Humidity is controled by a fogger system, temp. app. 82-86° F day, nigth 70-76° F.

That looks amazing.

Here's what I have as of today. I plan on building it up and recreating it into something nicer, but I wanted to start out with something simple before I really went all-out designing and investing money. For the front view picture, it kind of gives the illusion that there's an inch or so of very wet, muddy soil, but it's just the camera playing tricks. The temperature is on the rise and will be playing with it to achieve the ideal day/night temps with a dimmer I have for the UTH.

I'd like to add another hide for him, but I'm not sure where or what to go with. Newbie advice welcome. Again, the examples of your tanks are great.

Actually there is no need for another hide with the large plants you have. they should be sufficient.

Finally I'm the right tack!

An idea could be siliconing pebbles onto a piece of acrylic then inserting it at a slant to allow a built in pond area. Make sure to use acrylic safe silicone if you do it.
Not sure how messy they are in the water though...

I'd have to look into that a bit to make sure I do it right and safely. I do, however, have a tile mosaic that I bought for my leo to lead up to a second story I was going to build, but it turned out to be too flimsy to use as "stairs" and I wanted to wait a bit before adding another level, so he can adjust to his new setup. I could try adding the mosaic around his current water dish and see how it looks, but I'm thinking it'll look tacky.
